Hazards of bathing

  • Drowning is one possible danger of bathing. In a shower bath drowning has been known to occur, even though the risks are less than in an immersion bath. Baths that have standing water involve a higher risk of drowning.
  • Heatstroke can also result from the use of sauna baths or other hot baths.
  • Hypothermia from using cool baths and not being sensitive to the cold or because of falling asleep, etcetera.
  • Ear infections, also known as swimmer’s ear can result from water building up and the resulting increase in bacteria.
  • Impact injuries are also possible from landing inappropriately in a bath, from an elevation, or from collision with other bathers, or with the sides of the bath.
  • Irritation caused by bathing solutions or other cosmetic products.
  • Infection caused by sharing dirty bathwater or bathing with others.
  • Collapsing when getting out of the bath because of the sudden change in blood pressure can occur, particularly when the bath is hot. Fainting can lead to accidents (including drowning if one falls back into the bath).
  • With advanced age, some people experience a diminished ability to sense temperature, and must use extra care to avoid accidentally scalding themselves while bathing. Caution is needed with children as well, as their body is much more sensitive to temperature and pain and they are more vulnerable to changes in temperature; this is particularly the case with infants.
  • Bathing infants too often has been linked to the development of asthma or severe eczema according to some researchers, including Michael Welch, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics‘ section on allergy and immunology [2].

lost and found

I lost my cell phone.

Some one found it.

He returned my cellphone.

Sounds good and we all think the world still have some nice people. My experience is not good. You are betrayed by your own people. Friends turning foe? This is not a new phenomena. But it does makes you think over your attitude and proves that the world is a jungle and only fittest, not the good one, will survive.

I am back

The title is misleading. I am contradicting as I do all the time. I dint go anywhere. I was here. Looking at my blog. Trying to find enough inspiration to run my fingers on keyboard of my laptop. At last I had gathered enough courage and motivation and I have again become shameless to promote myself. What else any one can expect from me?

I have been going thru a U can say bad phase, financially I was bankrupt. Imagine this, you own a company and you are left with 800 bucks in your pocket and you have to pay off around 20K bucks. @-)

In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need
You can never give up
You can never give up

And this hope
That keep me holding on
On and on
And this hope
That makes me carry on
On and on

I always take refuge in music. I decided to fight in a new way. I decided not to give up but to attack the problem with new approach. And I planned and stuck to my plan. I didn’t succeed. But I also didn’t fail. I paid off all my dues on time. Paid my staff the salaries. And I called a war room meeting with my troops. I mean my staff. Some time I use words that add punch to the story.

Anyway. It passed. I survived. In between I faced some personal issues. Some ego wars. Some tough situations that made me realise following.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly coz u r a good person is same like expecting a hungry lion not to eat you coz you are a veggie.

The things that are going to change on my blog are following:-

  • I may start sharing my cooking experience.
  • I may change the theme but in any case the color scheme will be my fav, shades of grey and or pastel colors.
  • I may even try to move this blog to a different domain as I wan to start a new venture. All I am waiting is for funds and time.
  • My Geekself is pushing me to blog about some of my newly acquired tech skills but I dont want my blog to turn into a tech discussion forum. I want it to remain what it is? Shameless self promotion is what this blog is meant to do.

So here am I. Back again(:-/ am I contradicting again?)

My evil laugh,
>:)
